Stoeckle, 44, of Bay Port, has served as the Tribune's circulation director since 1996. She started out working in the Tribune's advertising department in 1992. Stoeckle, who grew up near Elkton, received a bachelor of arts degree in political science/public administration from Michigan State University after graduating from Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port High School.

"I grew up reading the Daily Tribune and I am honored to have been given this opportunity," Stoeckle said. "I work with dedicated people who create a stellar daily newspaper that is a vital part of our community, and you know, it all started with a classified ad for a part-time job."

George B. Irish, president of Hearst Newspapers and senior vice president of The Hearst Corporation, made the announcement Monday.

Stoeckle replaces Jenny L. Anderson who begins her tenure as publisher of the Midland Daily News, the Tribune's sister newspaper, May 1.
